| Carceral state | A carceral state is a state modelled on a prison. It is a form of, or a pre-requisite to/evolution upon, a police state. A carceral state is one that seeks to know everything about its inhabitants and visitors, but hide everything about itself. It demands transparency of everything except its own operations. The idea was discussed by Michel Foucault in his works regarding imprisonment especially psychiatric imprisonment. (references) | ||
